Guess what time it is? Time for a break! Enjoy your spring break this week, April 1-5th.

UPDATE: The SECURE protocol has ended and the situation has been resolved at SSHS. Everyone is safe. Thank you to Summit County Sheriff Department for always responding quickly and your dedication to keeping our students and staff safe.

SSHS is currently in a SECURE protocol due to law enforcement activity outside of the building. Staff is safe. Students are on Spring Break this week. SECURE protocol means everyone gets inside and doors are locked. Nobody is allowed in or out. We continually train for emergency situations like this one. We're so appreciative of our excellent partnership with Summit County Sheriff Department and their quick response.

Wrapping up School Social Work Week! Let's applaud our inspiring school social workers! Their commitment to fostering inclusive learning environments and addressing students' needs makes a world of difference. Thank you for being the guiding lights in our schools! Mrs. Cook loves helping students find ways to connect to themselves and others in healthy and sustainable ways, along with helping them to tolerate the less than stellar days that they invariably have. Their efforts align perfectly with the fourth goal of our School Board's Strategic Plan: Implement an effective mental health and social and emotional learning program. #WeAreSouthSummit #SSWW24 #PearlsOfWisdom

Celebrating School Social Work Week! Shoutout to the incredible school social workers who bring their expertise and unique educational background to our schools. They help create a positive and inclusive environment for students. Their presence contributes to the holistic development and well-being of students and strengthens the overall effectiveness of our school community. With the help of Mrs. Luther at South Summit Elementary we saw a 44% decrease in office referrals from the first to the second quarter and an increase in student attendance. #WeAreSouthSummit #SSWW24#PearlsOfWisdom #SchoolSocialWorkWeek
